Managed Service for ClickHouse® enables deploying and maintaining ClickHouse® server clusters in the Yandex Cloud infrastructure.

Getting startedGetting started

  1. Create a new Managed Service for ClickHouse® cluster with public host access. You can also use an existing cluster with publicly accessible hosts.
  2. Configure cluster security groups.
  3. Open the DataSphere project:

    1. Select the project in your community or on the DataSphere home page in the Recent projects tab.

    2. Click Open project in JupyterLab and wait for the loading to complete.
    3. Open the notebook tab.

Connecting to a hostConnecting to a host

To connect to Managed Service for ClickHouse® cluster hosts:

  1. Get an SSL certificate. To do this, enter this command in a notebook cell:

    #!:bash
    mkdir ~/.clickhouse-client
    wget "https://storage.yandexcloud.net/cloud-certs/CA.pem" -O ~/.clickhouse-client/root.crt && \
    chmod 0600 ~/.clickhouse-client/root.crt
    
  2. Establish a database connection. To do this, enter this command in a notebook cell:

    Using the `requests` library:
    Using the `clickhouse-driver` library:
    import requests
    url = 'https://{host}:8443/?database={db}&query={query}'.format(
            host='<ClickHouse®_host_FQDN>',
            db='<DB_name>',
            query='SELECT version()')
    auth = {
            'X-ClickHouse-User': '<DB_username>',
            'X-ClickHouse-Key': '<DB_user_password>',
        }
    cacert = '/home/jupyter/.clickhouse-client/root.crt'
    rs = requests.get(url, headers=auth, verify=cacert)
    rs.raise_for_status()
    print(rs.text)
    

    If you succeed connecting to the cluster, you will get the ClickHouse® version in response to your test request:

    22.3.17.13
    
    %pip install clickhouse-driver
    from clickhouse_driver import Client
    client = Client(host='<ClickHouse®_host_FQDN>',
                    user='<DB_username>',
                    password='<DB_user_password>',
                    database='<DB_name>',
                    secure=True)
    client.execute('SELECT version()')
    

    If you succeed connecting to the cluster, you will get the ClickHouse® version in response to your test request:

    [('22.3.17.13',)]
